If the tour, album, and Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 nails weren’t iconic enough — a new Nicki x LOCI sneaker drop is coming — which is a bold, bedazzled statement of pink power that continues to become an instant fan obsession, making their own viral rounds across social media and the world.

Nicki Minaj continues to redefine the boundaries of artistry and entrepreneurship. Amidst her electrifying Pink Friday 2 World Tour, the rap icon unveiled her latest venture: the “Dopamine” sneaker line, in collaboration with LOCI, launching April 7, 2025. The collection embodies Minaj's bold and vibrant aesthetic, offering fans a sustainable yet stylish footwear option that further amplifies her Nicki Minaj Mogul Era.
This announcement came as Minaj dominated stages worldwide on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which commenced in March 2024. The tour’s first leg captivated audiences across North America and Europe, including a standout performance at Oakland Arena on March 1, 2024, grossing over $2.3 million with a sold-out crowd of 13,907.
The second leg launched in Philadelphia on September 4, 2024, and by its conclusion, the tour had grossed over $108.9 million, with 788,124 tickets sold across 70 shows. This solidified Minaj as the highest-grossing female rapper on tour in both 2024 and 2025 — further defining her reign in the Nicki Minaj Mogul Era.
At the core of this mogul era is Minaj’s fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, released December 8, 2023. A sequel to her debut album, it marked her first studio release in five years and debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200, earning 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week — including 92,000 in pure sales. This milestone made her the first female rapper to score three #1 albums on the chart.
Internationally, the album landed in the top ten in Australia, Canada, and the UK, with lead single “Super Freaky Girl” becoming Minaj’s first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Beyond the stats and accolades, Minaj’s bond with her fanbase — the Barbz — remains stronger than ever. Through candid interactions and empowering messages, she’s built a loyal community that’s celebrated every step of this evolution. The release of Pink Friday 2 and its world tour only deepened this connection.
As the Pink Friday 2 Tour continues breaking records and the Dopamine sneakers make their mark on fashion, Nicki Minaj stands tall as a modern mogul — fearlessly innovative, unapologetically authentic, and always at the top of her game.
